Benefits and Vouchers

Daycare Trust has launched a new Website, www.payingforchildcare.org.uk, a one-stop guide through the maze of finding help with childcare costs.

The website provides targeted information for a wide range of circumstances - aimed at working parents, those thinking of studying or training, and parents of disabled children. It provides easy-to-read introductions to each of the main types of benefits, grants and subsidies that are available to help ease the financial burden of paying for childcare.

Flexible Benefits

Lancaster University have set up a voluntary flexible scheme for University Staff with children in the Pre-School Centre. Staff who are eligible to participate in the scheme have the potential to reduce their tax and national insurance contributions.
